Two thousand years before the read receipt, Rome was already full of people being ghosted.
The poet who understood it best was Ovid - so precisely that an emperor exiled him for it. His scandalous masterpiece on desire mapped the territory of attraction with a clarity that has never required revision. The technology of love has been replaced a hundred times since. The people using it have not been updated once.
The Laws of Desire brings Ovid's unsparing intelligence into the world of dating apps, read receipts, and situationships - the ancient education in attraction, rebuilt for the century we actually live in. For the men: the art of pursuit, and the harder art of keeping. For the women: cultivation, wit, and the transformation real love produces.
This is not a system. There are no rules here - only recognition.
Nothing in your romantic life is happening for the first time.
That should be a relief. It's meant to be.
Jaime Pasquier is a #1 Amazon Bestselling Author and the founder of a Washington, D.C. metro-area financial services firm he led for four decades. An author and philosopher, he writes at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern life, drawing on Stoicism, Aristotelian ethics, Buddhism, and Confucianism to explore the question achievement alone never answers: What kind of person are you becoming?
His book The Virtuous Life: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Living reflects a lifetime spent advising accomplished people seeking meaning beyond success. Pasquier holds a B.A. in Economics from George Mason University and studied the humanities at Marymount University. Fluent in English, Spanish, and French, he lives and writes in Washington, D.C.
